Mission Statement
Stichting DigiCare is een nonprofit organisatie, opgericht met het oog op
'de kunst van sociale verandering'. Omdat wij menen dat een gezonde
samenleving gefundeerd is op de principes van rechtvaardigheid, gelijke
economische kansen en duurzaam milieubeleid. In die gebieden waar het
nodig is, helpen wij mensen hun verhaal op betrokken, informatieve en
meeslepende wijze aan de wereld te vertellen. Hiervoor zetten we een mix
van kunst, (cross-)media producties en interactiviteit in. Daarbij
hechten we grote waarde aan samenwerking met NGO's, andere
maatschappelijke organisaties en kunstenaars en artiesten.
Een gezonde samenleving steunt fundamenteel op respect voor
mensenrechten, levensvatbaarheid van bevolkingsgroepen en integriteit
van al haar instellingen.
